After nearly ten years of privacy and exclusivity, Le Beauvallon—the storied Belle Époque palace tucked along the glittering shores of the Bay of Saint-Tropez—is once again welcoming guests. And it’s doing so in classic Riviera style.
Built in 1914 and nestled amid ten acres of manicured gardens, swaying palms, and fragrant umbrella pines, Le Beauvallon is a living postcard of Côte d’Azur elegance. Just a breezy eight-minute boat ride from the lively streets of Saint-Tropez and steps from the prestigious Golf Club de Beauvallon, this beachfront haven has long whispered luxury to those in the know.
For years, Le Beauvallon served as a hush-hush retreat for private celebrations and glamorous gatherings. But now, for the first time in nearly a decade, the landmark property is opening its 25 sea-facing suites to individual travelers. The summer season will run from July 1 through October 31, 2025, offering an extraordinary opportunity for discerning guests to snag a spontaneous, last-minute Riviera escape.
This reopening is more than a homecoming—it’s the prelude to a bold transformation. In partnership with COMO Hotels & Resorts, Le Beauvallon is entering a new era. The COMO brand, celebrated globally for its thoughtful service, holistic wellness philosophy, and Michelin-starred dining, is slated to take over operations in 2026, reintroducing the hotel as COMO Le Beauvallon.

“Each of our properties is defined by an extraordinary location,” says Olivier Jolivet, CEO of COMO Hotels & Resorts. “When we open COMO Le Beauvallon in 2026, it will be a key milestone for the brand to operate in one of the most exclusive destinations in the world.”
But don’t wait until next year to get a taste of what’s to come. The property’s iconic beach club is relaunching this summer with a daring, sun-drenched culinary concept. Picture an effortless blend of Asian and Mediterranean flavors, served right on the water’s edge with sweeping views of the bay. It’s coastal indulgence at its most refined.
And there’s more on the horizon: For the 2026 season, COMO has tapped Chef Yannick Alléno—the gastronomic genius with an astounding 17 Michelin stars—to unveil new culinary experiences that promise to raise the bar yet again.
From its breathtaking setting and storied past to its modern culinary flair and visionary future, Le Beauvallon is poised to reclaim its place among the Riviera’s most captivating hideaways.
Welcome back, Le Beauvallon. The Côte d’Azur has missed you.
